22-year-old Englishman could be a Tottenham player before the club’s US tour – report

Jack Grealish has been linked with a move to Tottenham for a while but there has been no clarity about when we would be signing the 22-year-old from Aston Villa.

However, Football.London (h/t Birmingham Mail) reports that the English midfielder could be a Tottenham player before the team jets off to North America for their pre-season tour.

Grealish is expected to be sold by Villa due to their financial problems and the 22-year-old could be a decent signing for us. Mauricio Pochettino does work wonders with young players and the Villa man certainly is a youngster with a lot of potential.

We still have not signed one player in the summer transfer window yet and that might be a cause of concern for many, however, the report also shed light on an important issue and that is our foreign contingent.

Tottenham would have to sell four foreign players just to free up one spot for another foreigner coming in when it comes to the Champions League squad.

Last season Juan Foyth had to miss out and we even sent out the pair of Vincent Janssen and Georges-Kevin Nkoudou. This is one reason why we are thinking of signing British players and Grealish is the right man if we think about it.

26-year-old Tottenham star finds himself on Juventus’ radar for the January window

Juventus have made Christian Eriksen one of their top targets as they try to add quality in the winter window, according to Tuttosport (h/t Daily Mail).

The report adds that Paul Pogba, Adrien Rabiot and Aaron Ramsey are all targets for the Serie A giants, and a reunion with the Manchester United man is their first choice.

Should a move not work out for Pogba, Eriksen is the man Juventus believe they can get. The Dane has struggled with injury this season at Tottenham and has recorded a single goal for the side.

Juventus have made it a habit of getting some quality players on the cheap and Eriksen is yet to sign a new deal with Spurs.

The attacking midfielder has been missed this season but we have done a decent job without him. Spurs are fourth in the Premier League just five points behind Manchester City, and our next clash is against Chelsea after the international break.

Eriksen has had a tough time with an injury this season but has recovered from the abdominal issue. The 26-year-old played the entire 90 against Wales and is expected to play again before the end of the international break.
